Do you cycle your ebike in the rain?

[mountainsport]

That is why I bought my bike. the idea was that even though it was an expensive bike, using it daily it would pay for itself as I could save money compared with public transport. I guess maybe i expected too much when it came to going home in the rain.

I'm not being rude but eventually you will find out for yourself that riding will become more enjoyable than sex so don't be too harsh on yourself please.

You get sweaty and out of breath doing both but cycling is less sticky.

Only problem I suffer is the LCD fills with moisture, taken me 3 days to dry it out, took it off the bike last night to properly dry it out and to try and seal it against the elements.

How did you do that Phil? I'd be tempted to stretch a bit of clingfilm over it.

 

[phil01]

I've tried the cling film method and secured it with a rubber band but it don't last long, tears and rips easy and just looks horrible.
Took the LCD off, split it, dried it out and sealed it with some black RTV silicone.
Refitted just now and about to go for a leisure ride

I'm sure it does look terrible. But it's given me an idea.

Nice job, by the way.

I've had my eBikes for 4 years and I commute every working day no matter what the weather, so yes, I've been in pouring rain many times and my bikes have also stood in the pouring rain 100s of times. I do however place a black shower cap over the battery when it's standing.

For some reason I haven't got a picture of the converted MTB but imagine the same Cyclotricity conversion with 38mm tyres

Croxden, please don't start me off, because this topic may just end up in the hands of the tacky.
Now...... hands up to all you toffee lovers!

Juicy have contacted me to say they are going to sort it all looks like i will be out again soon

Simple issue. Cycling Made Easy found that your motor plug wasn't fully in.

They also did a "rain test" and couldn't cause any issue (soaking the bike with some gallons of water sprayed all over).

Should now be ready for you to collect and I'm sure they've been in contact with you directly.

Thankyou Bob

Yes I've just this second gotten the bike home. All seems ok and cycling made easy were very helpful.

Rain is scheduled for every day next week so I'm going to be able to give it a good test.
